“We’re hyped to be bringing back Dia De Los Deftones this year,” Chino Moreno commented in a statement, “We take a ton of pride in curating it; it’s a chance for us to put forth and showcase some artists that we love and respect, and putting on an amazing day of music and culture for our fans. We’re excited to see everyone again out at Petco in November.”
Back in 2018, the band held their inaugural Dia De Los Deftones event featuring Future, Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda, Rocket From The Crypt, HO99O9, Doja Cat, Vein and Vowws. 2019’s event included sets from Chvrches, Gojira, JPEGMafia, Hum, Youth Code and Brutus.
Moreno recently joined Gojira onstage for a cover of Sepultura’s “Territory.” The band also recently parted with their bassist Sergio Vega following a contract dispute. In April, reports said that Fred Sablan and Lance Jackman would be joining the band as touring members.
